The Friday closest to the full moon (or Full Moon Fridays as they are known in my head) means it’s online pranayama class with one of my wonderful teachers Sharon Dawn Taylor.
What a calming cosy start to a rainy weekend 🧘🏻‍♀️

Last night’s Beaver super moon over the sea in Newquay, wondering how many millions of eyes were feeling her gentle pull at the same time ❤️ 🌒

It’s officially soup season (well it’s always soup season for me 😋) . Turks turban squash and leek soup harvested from the allotment. The kale crisps and pomegranate seeds give it such beautiful jewel colours I had to admire it for a while before eating ❤️

I’m not very well up on AI, so I had no idea it could do this - it looks like AI created this picture and got it wrong, as the pose should be done on your back. Definitely don’t try this one at home folks, you’d be likely to do some damage to your poor spine 🙈😱

This yoga posture is a Wall-Supported Legs-Up Pose variation (similar to Viparita Karani or Legs Up the Wall Pose).

🧘‍♀️ How to do :-
1. Sit close to a wall with one hip touching it.
2. Lie down on your back and swing your legs up the wall.
3. Adjust so your hips rest close to the wall and your legs are vertical.
4. Rest your arms relaxed by your sides or under your head.
5. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and relax for 3–5 minutes

The outdoor classes at Walkden Gardens finished last week for this year. For me this signals the end of summer and even last week the field was beginning to look autumnal.
Thank you to all who came to classes and supported, we raised a fantastic £330.50 for the friends of Walkden Gardens.

Hopefully see you next year 😃

On Sunday the Earth, the Moon and the Sun aligned to make a blood moon on my birthday, lucky me 😃 🌒.
Although it was too cloudy in Manchester to see the moon until later, its lunar energy could be felt above us in the lake. Bringing healing and transformation, a blood moon was a special end to a birthday weekend.
A weekend of Yoga, of remembering my lovely teacher trainer Marion, of connection to nature, and most of all of connection to family, felt like a perfect celebration of another trip around the sun 💝🌲 🌽

Outdoor Yoga will be on at Walkden Gardens this evening 6-7 pm. While the weather is fine and dry, the temperature is a little bit cooler, so do bring something a bit warmer for relaxation. We will do a fairly active practise (according to abilities) to make sure we stay warm .

All are welcome, including beginners. Just bring a mat. £5 cash, or pay what you can. At least 50% goes to the Friends of Walkden Gardens group to help maintain and develop the beautiful gardens 🌲 🧘🏻‍♀️
